First of all, this website is not run be SlngMedia.

Second, ever hear of a telephone? Why not pick up the phone and call them. They have telephone support and it's pretty good. It's pretty hard to troubleshoot something by sending e-mails back and forth.

Third, after calling them, you can also post your issue here. And us users will try to help.

The problem does not appear to be with your Slingbox since you can stream at home. You have either a port forward issue with your router or an issue with your ISP. Or perhaps your finder ID isn't being properly updated to SlingMedia. I would first verify that my FinderID is indeed correct. Then find your WAN IP using the information in this post: http://www.slingcommunity.com/comment...

Then verify that it is your WAN IP.

I would check to make sure that the port forward settings or UPNP settings of your router have not changed.

Hey, TravlinMan i must tell that i am agreed with NA9D and jfitzpa503, the problem must be some kind of firewall from you ISP or the Router that you have, you will be able to watch the slingbox at home no matter what because the slingbox is doing the connection directly to your PC, however the remote viewing it is a different story, routers always block the information that tries to travel from some specific ports, the port 5001 is the one that the slingbox use, and it is blocked by default in the routers, make sure the port is open in the router and run the remote viewing set up again, to see how to set up the router just access this web site and follow the instructions.

I understand that you do not like the service of the slingmedia, but as NA9D said it is very hard to troubleshoot by e-mail, i am sure that if you call you will get this resolved. 

Well, now you've given us more information. The facts are that you don't know if it will stream at home on your LAN right now. It's quite possible the Slingbox is locked up. It happens from time to time and I've seen it happen with my Pro more than with my Classic. I don't know of a way to remotely reset it. :(

Sorry bud i did not get that you were away from home, however since you are not at home you do not know how is the situation, there what if the internet is down at you home, what if there is not power at home, what if the slingbox lost the configuration and needs a powercycle, those are the little problems that makes love the slingbox, why do not you call at home and get a person to check the slingbox for you, sometimes a powercycle can fix it.

I have just finished writing a post with a similar problem  I also can connect to my slingbox, but get no streaming.   Tech support in an effort to help me have been able to connect and get video and sound.  The kicker is that I can connect from other remote locations but cannot do so from Pittsburgh.

Problem is I have a 2nd slingbox in NJ and can connect to that with no problem, furthermore while in  NJ I can connect to Florida.
